The first one doesn't work for me--nothing seems to tie it all together.   I do like the third one.

thanks Kent.

I like the structure and balance in #1. I agree with Kent that a central element would help, but here it is implied, not shown. Too much foreground?

Thanks Scott. Perhaps, this is one instance where I was in awe about the power of the sea, it was just foam down there. I submit another similar one where there is a water bike (the guys that tow the surfers to speed up when catching the wave) almost ashore.

Regards.

I like the third and this last.
All the best.

Thank you Paulo.
What huge waves. Well presented.
#3 makes me clutch tightly to my desk !

#2 has great power due to that large wave.  It's lost in the panorama.  Crop in to it to bring out the lonely surfer in the middle of the wave.
Something like this.

Fear not, I was well protected in the lighthouse building:) Besides, it was shot with a 56mm lens on Fuji APSC.

Thanks Alan. I actually prefer the original crop, as it provides the continuation of the wave.
